at the interview, he shall not say or do anything or cause anything to be done, which, in the opinion of the Majlis Peguam Syarie, give rise to a reasonable inference that he is attempting, through the interview, to publicize his practice or the practice of his firm in a manner inconsistent with these Rules.
